ELI REED 1946- "Black in America", Norton, 1997, 176 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. First edition; introduction by Gordon Parks. Since his early days in photography, Eli Reed has been documenting the Black experience in America. A member of Magnum, the prestigious photojournalism agency, he is renowned for his uncompromising reporting of events, from the most important to the most trivial. Tender moments between parents and children contrast with the riots in Los Angeles. The joy of a wedding follows the sadness and anger of Yusef Hawkins' funeral in Brooklyn. The deceptive innocence of rural life counterbalances the tensions of urban drug trafficking. And a 104-year-old woman contemplates her life, just a few pages from the Million Man March on Washington. Reed's work is imbued with truth, but also with anger and compassion. These images speak to us, sometimes with the gentleness of a kiss, sometimes with the cruelty of a bullet. They are part of Eli Reed's America - and ours. In-4 (29 x 26 cm) Mint condition.
